Raptor Tests Gun And Flares

Raptor Tests Gun And FlaresA joint Air Force-industry team began airborne live-fire testing of the Raptor’s 20mm cannon in February from Edwards AFB. The F/A-22 is equipped with a General Dynamics six-barrel M61A2 Gatling-type gun. The gun is installed on Raptor 02, which was used for the initial ground-based live-fire gun tests that began last December. The basic gun functionality will be evaluated in approximately thirty airborne firings. In related news, the F/A-22’s flare countermeasures were recently flight tested for the first time. During the test, MJU-10 flares were released from a Raptor test aircraft flown from Edwards AFB. All flares separated cleanly from the aircraft.
